Boiler Replacement: Upgrade to an Energy-Efficient Heating System
Heating and hot water account for a significant portion of household energy use. Replacing an old or inefficient boiler with a modern condensing boiler can dramatically improve your home’s energy efficiency and lower your monthly bills.
Whether your current system is outdated, underperforming, or costing too much to run, free boiler replacement grants may be available to help you make the switch at no cost.
Why Replace Your Boiler?
Modern boilers, especially condensing models, are designed to reclaim and reuse heat from flue gases, achieving far better efficiency than older units. Here’s how upgrading can benefit you:
- Lower Energy Bills – New boilers waste less heat and use less fuel.
- Improved Efficiency – Modern condensing boilers exceed 90% efficiency.
- Greater Reliability – Reduce breakdowns and costly repairs.
- Reduced Carbon Emissions – Help meet UK climate goals with an eco-friendly system.
More Consistent Heating – Enjoy a warmer, more comfortable home.
Free Boiler Replacement – Are You Eligible?
You may qualify for a free boiler replacement under government-funded schemes like ECO4 or GBIS if:
- You have a non-condensing boiler currently installed.
- You have a condensing boiler over 10 years old with an efficiency rating of 85% or lower.
How to Identify a Condensing Boiler
Not sure what type of boiler you have? Use the following clues:
- Plastic Flue: A plastic flue usually indicates a condensing boiler. Metal flues suggest a non-condensing model.
- Plastic Condensate Pipe: A visible plastic pipe exiting from the bottom of the boiler to a drain is a key sign.
- Installation Date:
- Gas/LPG Boilers: Installed after 2005? Likely condensing.
- Oil Boilers: Installed after 2007? Likely condensing.
- Gas/LPG Boilers: Installed after 2005? Likely condensing.
If you’re unsure, our professional surveyors can assess your system and confirm eligibility.
